Hailey Bush-Wehde is still listed as an inmate at the Washoe County jail tonight with a $30,000 bond after being booked yesterday on charges of battery with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon without a valid permit and discharging a gun in a public place, in connection with shots fired during an altercation outside Club Two One Nine on 2nd street last month.
Battery with a deadly weapon is a Category B felony which carries a prison term of two to 10 years.
Lisa Botello whose daughter in the pink top was injured in the shooting early last Sunday is looking for additional charges against people who might have helped the suspect Bush-Wehde hide for so long.
After initially expressing frustration to Our Town Reno no arrest was made immediately following the shooting, she said she now wanted to extend her “gratitude to the Reno police department for getting the job done.”
Botello also wanted to thank Our Town Reno for creating more awareness. “I’m very happy she’s finally off the streets,” she said. “I think that article gave the police the extra motivation they needed.”
She also wants a restraining order placed on Bush-Wehde while she’s still in jail, saying her family has been receiving threats for seeking her arrest.
She says her daughter is getting better every day, getting her appetite back and getting a little bit more mobile, after being shot at in close range when trying to protect her friend outside the downtown Reno club.
The Eden club at the same location was previously suspended last year due to Reno PD reporting code violations and increased crime nearby before remodeling and reopening with a new name.
